THOSE who don’t ‘believe’ in paying tax (cash in hand etc), or get all sorts of tax free benefit do pay tax via VAT when they go spending on most items.
Besides when it went down for a short period to 15 per cent the 2½ per cent was too little and made ‘no difference’.
So why is that same per cent increase made out to be the end of the world?
I recall that fuel duty was adjusted UP to cover the lost 2½ per cent but has it been adjusted DOWN now? I JUST wonder !
